The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation plans to install 600 automatic fire extinguishing systems in its civic buildings to prevent fires caused by electrical short circuits. This measure aims to contain any potential fires at an early stage, thereby enhancing the overall fire safety of the buildings. The estimated cost for this initiative in the first phase is Rs 50.99 lakh.
The NMMC Fire Department has identified a need for a total of 1,035 units across various civic-owned buildings, including schools, hospitals, libraries, and community centers. These automated extinguishing systems will be strategically placed near electrical circuits in high-risk areas such as Vashi, Nerul, Airoli, and Koparkhairane.
By installing these systems, the municipal corporation hopes to significantly reduce the risk of fires spreading rapidly in densely populated civic buildings.
